Subject: [Commoning] Success of the Pirate Party in Berlin/Germany To: commoning@lists.wissensallmende.de
Hi all,
yesterday the Pirate Party entered the Berlin House of Deputies. They
jumped over the 5%-threshold which 8.9% of the votes. This was quite a
surprise. All of their candidates won a seat. The success was so big,
that some of the seats won in the parallel communal elections will
remain unused, because they have not enough candidates.
It is expected, that Berlin will get a socialdem-green government.
